Challenge:Shadows (Classic Editing) Camera:Olympus C-3000Z Location: Montgomery, AL Date: Jun 12, 2002 Aperture: 1:2:8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/4 sec. Date Uploaded: Jun 12, 2002
Taken in my dining room with the aid of a floor lamp. I took the photo in black and white without a flash. The photo may not be as sharp as most would like, but I was going for the look of the old tv show this is based on.
My husband is the model and no he doesn't look much like this shadow. You can do a lot with the right angle, hands in front of the belly and a good slumped posture.
If I get some laughs out of this it will be well worth the effort.

Very funny idea. Actually I'm tired of seeing "people shadows", but you get a few extra points for humour. The photo also does a good job of reminding me of the original Hitchcock shadow....
This shot certainly qualifies for the shadow competition. Placement of it in the photo is ok, too. However, I'm not very excited looking at the shot, sorry.
